HAWC Foundation Phase 2 - Women's House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

HAWC Foundation Phase 2 is a women's sober living home on 5th Avenue in Huntington, West Virginia, in Cabell County. Ten women live here, all of them graduates of HAWC Foundation's Phase 1 program, and the residence holds certification from the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences.

A Women's Sober House in Downtown Huntington

This is the women's Phase 2 address in a ten-home portfolio, and the gender restriction settles the practical questions first: bathrooms, house meetings and shared space are all women's space, and one set of expectations covers the household. The program fee is $100 a week. The 1200 block of 5th Avenue sits between downtown Huntington and the Marshall University campus, on the corridor the Tri-State Transit Authority runs most frequently.

What Phase 2 Establishes in This Recovery Residence

Every woman here has completed HAWC Phase 1. The house is a step down in structure and a step up in independence, and the population is drawn entirely from people who have already done the first stretch. For a woman comparing certified recovery homes in Huntington, that is the distinguishing fact: this is not an entry point, and the household reflects it.

Medication-Assisted Recovery for Women in Cabell County

Vivitrol, Sublocade, Suboxone and methadone are accepted here. Women on prescribed medication for opioid use disorder are frequently the hardest group to place in sober living, and a certified ten-bed women's residence that accepts all four widens a very narrow field in Cabell County.

Huntington Recovery Housing and the Cabell County Seat

Huntington holds the county courthouse, the region's largest hospital, the state's second-largest university and the transit system that connects them. Women coming out of treatment in the smaller towns of Wayne, Lincoln and Mason counties usually find that Huntington is the nearest address within reach of a job, an appointment and a meeting on the same day. That concentration is why the city carries more certified recovery residences than anywhere else in West Virginia.
